Here Comes the Sun

Album: Abbey Road

Year: 1969

Written by: George Harrison

Anyone who's been to Noble on a Saturday morning knows this song well. My mom used to sing it to me when I didn't feel like getting out of bed, so I always think of it a great morning song. It's also one of my favorite George Harrison tunes. Here's what George had to say about writing this beautiful Beatles classic:

"Here Comes the Sun was written at the time when Apple was getting like school, where we had to go and be businessmen: 'Sign this' and 'sign that.' Anyway, it seems as if winter in England goes on forever, by the time spring comes you really deserve it. So one day I decided I was going to sag off Apple and I went over to Eric Clapton's house. The relief of not having to go see all those dopey accountants was wonderful, and I walked around the garden with one of Eric's acoustic guitars and wrote Here Comes the Sun."

George sings lead and plays all the guitars and the Moog synthesizer on this track. The video above was made by a fan and features photos of George throughout his days with the Beatles. Look how much he changed from the early days of the band until the time they broke up, not long after this song was written.
